AEROTHAN IS 100% RECYCLABLE
Yes, you heard it right! These tubes consist of 100% thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), including the valve, making them entirely recyclable.

DEVELOPMENT
AEROTHAN. THE WONDER MATERIAL FROM THE SCHWALBE INNOVATION HUB.
Schwalbe didn't just create a product; they crafted a masterpiece for every cyclist. They faced the thrilling challenge of combining the lightest weight with the highest puncture protection. The Aerothan tube emerged from a collaboration between the brains at the Schwalbe innovation hub and BASF, proving that high-end cycling can indeed have a lighter touch. It meets and exceeds all bicycle tube expectations, all while you’re out carving your path on two wheels.
